Traffic engineering, management and applications in high-speed networks

数据网络的最新趋势是使用服务覆盖来向客户提供虚拟专用网络。例如，虚拟专用局域网服务(VPLS)使用流量工程方法，使用MPLS(多协议标签交换)来连接给定客户的各个站点，以确保服务质量。我们的研究集中在传输流量的有效手段上，称为MPLS网络上的流量捆绑，以及在保证服务质量的情况下有效地提供这些覆盖网络。我们的研究将重点放在较新的灵活服务模型(例如，软管模型和变体)上，以便为这些网络提供服务质量保证。

Recent trends in data networks employ service overlays to provide virtual private networks to customers. For example, Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) employ traffic engineering methods using MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) to connect various sites of a given customer ensuring Quality of Service. Our research focusses on efficient means of transporting traffic, called traffic bundling on MPLS networks and efficient provisioning of these overlay networks with Quality of service guarantees. Our research conitnues to focus on newer flexible service models (e.g., Hose model and variants) to provision these networks with Quality of Service guarantees.
